Chapter 26: Planting Blame
"County Lord, it's not good!"
Gu Nuan was lying on the soft couch, a book was gently covered on his face, when he heard the sound, he reached out and opened the scroll, half-squinting his eyes, and saw a huge face in green clothes, close at hand, with an anxious face.
"What's wrong, could it be that the sky is falling?"
Gu Nuan was startled, stroked his body, couldn't help but yawn, and turned over.
Green Yi looked like he hated iron but not steel, and continued: "County Lord, the palace maid next to the queen has just come and said to let the county lord go. ”
"What!"
Gu Nuan exclaimed, almost fell off the soft couch, took the tea in the hand of the green cloth, and took several sips.
The queen looked for her.
She's just a child, what's the good thing to do with her?
Gu Nuan was a little flustered, she had been in the palace for so long, she had the support of the queen mother on weekdays, and she didn't see any concubines in the harem, this queen mother had no contact with her, and she invited her over inexplicably, making it clear that it was not a good thing?
It's a question of whether to go or not.
Gu Nuan scratched his head and got up slowly, forget it, I can't care so much at the moment.
"Green, let's go."
Passing by the Queen Mother's bedroom, Gu Nuan stopped, just as the grandmother beside the Queen Mother was pruning the flower branches.
Mama put down the scissors in her hand, saluted slightly, and asked, "The county lord is going out." ”
Gu Nuan nodded and looked behind Mama.
Mama followed the line of sight, smiled faintly, and then replied: "Right now, the Queen Mother is taking a break, but the county lord has something?" ”
"No, Mama Lao misses it."
On weekdays, the Queen Mother is not thin on her, but today's matter, there is still no need to bother her old man.
A few steps further on, the Queen's bedchamber.
The red carved wooden door was open to the outside world, as if welcoming Gu Nuan.
There was no one around.
After entering the palace gate, a palace maid stepped forward to greet him, leaned over and saluted, and then pointed to the door in the middle of the courtyard and whispered, "County Lord, please." ”
Gu Nuan was silent, glanced at each other with green clothes, and took the lead in entering the door.
The queen sat directly above, saw Gu Nuan, and only glanced at it lightly, her face was not wavering, she held the tea cup in her hand, and tasted the tea carefully.
The atmosphere was a little dreary, and the people who were pressed were out of breath.
There was a woman sitting on the left side, looking at the dress on her body, it must be a concubine in the palace, what made Gu Nuan feel familiar was the child next to the concubine.
is the same age as Gu Nuan, as if he was the prince who kicked over the table that day.
Seeing Gu Nuan's gaze, the prince swallowed nervously and hid behind the woman, as if seeking refuge.
Gu Nuan knew in her heart that looking at this formation, she probably guessed something.
stepped forward slightly, clasped his hands together, bent his knees slightly, and said word by word: "Nuan Nuan see the queen's mother." ”
"Get up!"
The queen glanced at her and said lightly.
The green clothes helped Gu Nuan to get up, seeing that the queen had no intention of sitting, Gu Nuan did not plan to beat around the bush, and said bluntly: "I don't know what the queen is looking for?" ”
"I've heard a little about the study hall."
Gu Nuan's expression changed, and sure enough, because of this matter, he raised his head and said without humility or arrogance: "Taifu is fair and wins the hearts of the people." ”
"Nonsense!"
The woman on the side couldn't sit still, her eyes full of anger.
"Concubine Liang, pay attention to your words and deeds, don't be rude to the county lord."
The queen coughed lightly and stopped in a loud voice.
The woman called Concubine Liang, wringing a handkerchief in one hand, with tears in her eyes, said with indignation: "Queen Mother, you have to make decisions for Min'er." ”
With this operation, Gu Nuan's jaw was about to drop, in the past, he only felt that the palace fighting scene on TV was fake, but now it seems that Gu Nuan, who can cry with a squeeze of his eyes, can see it today.
Originally, as a seven-year-old child, she still wanted to ask three questions, but looking at this posture, it must be impossible for her to be so easily fooled.
"Oh~ Since Concubine Liang has grievances, this palace naturally upholds justice."
The queen has no waves on the surface, but in fact, she hopes that Concubine Liang will make a fuss.
As the saying goes, three women in one play, Gu Nuan is chasing ducks to the shelves at the moment, so he has to bite the bullet.
Concubine Liang glanced at Gu Nuan fiercely, pulled Xiao Min to his side, rolled up his sleeves, and could see a bruise on his wrist.
"This is the evidence, the county lord beat the prince."
Gu Nuan was startled, and a mouthful of old blood almost gushed out, didn't you write a draft of this lie? Why did all the rotten pots buckle on her head, she didn't remember any physical contact with this Xiao Min.
The queen glanced at it lightly, then looked at Gu Nuan again, and said, "County Lord, what is the explanation?" ”
Gu Nuan smiled softly and said unhurriedly: "Queen Mother, those who are clear are self-purifying, and Nuan Nuan will naturally not admit what she has not done." ”
"Phew! The evidence is in front of me, and I can't even quibble. ”
Concubine Liang snorted coldly.
Gu Nuan smiled slightly, didn't explain, looked at Xiao Min beside Concubine Liang, thought for a moment, and said: "Dare to ask the prince Nuan Nuan when and where he had a push with you, and who saw it, besides, look at the traces of this wound, it is not that you touched it yourself and insisted on planting it on me." ”
Xiao Min was stared at by Gu Nuan's eyes, trembling with fright, not daring to speak, and dodging behind Concubine Liang vigorously.
"Min'er is just a child, and the county lord is so aggressive, he doesn't want to exonerate himself."
Seeing this, Concubine Liang protected Xiao Min behind her, and said with some unhappiness in her heart.
Gu Nuan snorted coldly, nodded a little approvingly, and then said, "Child? Why, today the queen and Concubine Liang are struggling to nuan and admit this trumped-up charge, if it is spread out, it will be said that the two of you are bullying children. ”
"This ......"
The queen was instantly dumbfounded, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes, she didn't expect that this seven-year-old girl would be so flamboyant.
"Your Highness, on the way back just now, the slave seemed to see the county lord, and the direction in which he went seemed to be the queen's bedroom."
The little waiter made a pot of tea, gently placed it on the table, and said casually.
The hand holding the scroll paused.
Casually picked up the teacup on the table, shook it, and thought about it in his head.
What is the queen looking for her? Could it be because the prince was dissatisfied, thinking of this, Xiao Jingyi's expression changed.
The tea was spilled on the ground, Xiao Zhi took a cotton handkerchief to wipe the water stains, and couldn't help but say, "Your Highness, why are you so careless?" ”
One person does things and one person does things, if it weren't for his Gu Nuan, he wouldn't have offended the prince.
Xiao Jingyi got up, took the shawl on the side and put it on his body, his face was hurried, and he was ready to go out.
"Your Highness is going to be openly an enemy of the Queen!"
The feet that were about to step out of the door hung in the air, and his heart was a little shaken, what he said was right, over the years, he had been swallowing his anger and dismissing everyone's concerns, and now if he went out, it would inevitably attract the attention of the queen, and it would be even more difficult in the future.
However, Gu Nuan ......
